AHF Scope is a standalone, interactive, real-time capable front-end to Oracle Cluster Health Advisor (CHA). AHF Scope requires a very small foot-print on the monitored system.

AHF Scope is invoked using the ahfscope script available in the /opt/oracle.ahf/ahfscope/bin/ directory. AHF Scope is designed primarily for cluster or database experts. It is capable of handling large amounts of data efficiently. Its layout and mode of operation is designed for functional efficiency. Most of the operations can be executed using a positional pointer and Hot Keys, or a floating menu available at the cursor position.

If Grid Infrastructure Management Repository (GIMR) is configured,, AHF Scope will connect directly to GIMR using a JDBC connection, and read the current data in real-time. AHF Scope can also operate locally with no connection to GIMR using a data archive extracted from GIMR.
